Introduction
Military laser rangefinder systems provide targeting and upgraded weapon sights for laser-guided bombs, missiles, or precision-guided artillery munitions, such as the Paveway series of bombs or the AGM-114 Hellfire anti-tank missiles. These portable devices are carried by the armed forces, special forces, and forward air controllers (FAC); they consist of an optical sight and a laser emitter. These systems may vary in size; they are usually mounted on tripods to ensure a stable aiming platform. Over time, military laser rangefinders have become a vital component in the defense industry. There have been technological advancements in military laser rangefinders. Currently, a number of companies, such as BAE Systems, Northrop Grumman, and Thales Group, have invested in military laser rangefinders; this would significantly propel market growth. The development of laser-guided weapons, introduction of safe laser rangefinders, modernization of warfare, and production of lightweight laser rangefinders are the key factors driving the growth of the global market. Furthermore, the integration of laser rangefinders with unmanned aerial vehicle (UAV) and market penetration in emerging economies and target countries create promising growth opportunities for market players. Meanwhile, the health concerns associated with laser rangefinders and difficult operability in extreme weather conditions are expected to hinder market growth to a certain extent.
